“Nikes On” was the first new piece of music released by Healy in the 2010's. A product of a writing camp in Silverlake, LA in December 2017, “Nikes On” centers around the theme of time. Healy pairs a stern, surreal personification of time with promising and uplifting production to convey a sense of harmony and acceptance of time.
"I hadn’t lived the life I needed to live to finish writing ‘Nikes On’ until August of 2019. The song centers around the feeling of time running away from you. It serves as a reminder to be self-aware and present because time never stops, and fighting it is wasting it. I wanted to pair this stern, surreal personification of time with promising and uplifting production to convey a sense of harmony and acceptance of time. Time is yours for the taking, not the other way around."
